Employment
Not to be outdone in the
wetness stakes (being the only terms on which I can hope to compete with the lovely
Alastair (not that competition is called-for anyway (do I have enough parentheses here? (apparently not)))):
Have I nothing better to do this morning than post pictures of myself in the shower? Well, yes and no. I have other things to do, other more important things, other horrible things, things I don't want to do. Better? Well.
Chief among today's tasks is to rework my CV and begin the quest for gainful employment. Not that I am strictly unemployed now, but what's left of my employment isn't fucking gainful.
Ian tells me it's time for me to change my life -- in several ways, perhaps, but certainly workwise. He thinks I'm not fulfilling my potential, or something, that I should be doing work that inspires me or excites me or takes me in new directions instead of being mired in soul-destroying rubbish at a zombie company that habitually can't pay its staff.
Well, I don't have much confidence in my potential, but the rest is certainly true. I need to be doing something else, something positive. If only it were that easy.
So, my CV. Time, once again, to try to turn my baffling employment history and sprawling, incoherent skillset into something someone might want to hire. Somehow. Time to sell myself. God I hate doing that.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions, feel free. They don't even have to be sensible ones.

I can think of a hell of a lot of things that are more of a waste of time than posting pictures of yourself in the shower :-)
But then I've always been a sucker for wet naked bodies in such locations...
As for selling yourself, I hate that more even than you do, and am almost certainly considerably less skilled at it.
How much do you want by the way (for outright purchase, not lease)?
What an illuminating[, wet] lunchbreak.
I am in distinct need of a houseboy, but that's no career (with all due respect to houseboys) - and I know that you are better than that (again... all due respect to houseboys; sorry, Adam). Heck, I think I'm damning myself to becoming a houseboy.
You know how I feel about this; what Ian is trying to suggest makes sense, and though we all know that getting there can be a right pain, finding something that means more to you will make the extra aggro worthwhile. If you need some peer review, send me your CV at its next draft; I'm not an expert, but different perspectives may be of value to you; here if you need a hand.
What is it with you sexy Brits (you and Stairs) posting all this skin? Hey, I'm certainly NOT complaining, mind you. I'd be tempted to do the same, but there's enough of my stuff floating around.
ps did Stairs change his photo? Very nice, but not as much skin as advertised ...
How come my ps appeared but not the original comment?
Anyway, it read:
Ian is incontrovertibly right. If you work out how to carry out his suggestion, please supply me with detailed instructions asap.
Pssst! Matt, it worked! Corin's *noticing* ;)
Max, funnily enough, there is an identical version, albeit topless, but it was never posted. I was a bit hesitant about posting that online, however, not because I'm shy, but because it isn't very me. If I find a pornographer to host it, I'll tell you where it turns up.
[Max] If I do, I shall -- but best not hold your breath :(
[Stairs] I'll host it! (And thanks, I may take you up on your offer.)
[Corin] What do you mean, "enough"??
[Adam] That would be subject to negotiation :)
Ta-da! By special arrangement with young master Stairs, here's the oh-so-risqué shirtless pic (click the thumbnail for a better view):
I hope y'all feel as privileged as I do :)
I think you and Stairs should go be astronauts together. It would be so romantic. And then you could post pictures of yourselves with lots of skin in outer space.
I'm sorry. I've been teaching all day and I've lost my mind.
Oh my! (And what a *better* view it is! Thanks, Matt and Stairs. ;-)
I found myself recently unemployed, and I've since discovered that I enjoy my free time far too much to muck it up with a job. So I've decided to suckle at the government's teat for a while longer until I'm good and ready to have another silly job. :)
Lucky government ;)
I'd love to do that, but my situation doesn't really allow it -- would be an unfair burden on Ian, for a start.
